Forget trying to walk them through a simple repair over the phone, to avoid sending a ServiceTech and saving an owner money.

  :) I think the simple answer is to just reach out to people.   81% of people only reach out to one Realtor. 

Normally, as @Jaycee Greene suggests, you make a management fee plus a split of cashflow with investors (oversimplified explanation).

Hopefully it doesn’t come to that, but he does have two evictions on his record already so it’s not out of the realm of possibility.Thanks @Kathleen Leary for your suggestion for the lease.  

Thank you for taking the time to make these suggestions! 

Virtually only ones to have not done well in San Diego RE were those over leveraged at inopportune times.If you want To invest in San Diego, I suggest you save more before starting.  

So that’s what I’ll do as you suggested.

Really simple process to get a term sheet and no upfront fees except appraisal cost that is paid DIRECTLY to the appraisal company.

I will suggest that a seminar that sells training materials only would not have helped me.
